blacknebn.

Brit.

/blakˈnɛb/, U.S.

/ˌblækˈnɛb/

Forms: 1800s blacknib, 1800s– blackneb.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: black adj., neb n.

Etymology: < black adj. + neb n. The motivation for senses 1 and 3 is unclear; sense 3 could either (in spite of the apparent chronology) show an alteration of blacknob n. at black adj. and n. Compounds 1e(a) by association with sense 2, or could perhaps show an extended use of sense 2, the strike-breaker being compared to a carrion crow.

1. Scottish. Chiefly depreciative. Esp. from the time of the French Revolution: a vociferous supporter of democracy; a person regarded as hostile towards the government, a radical. Now historical and rare.Defined as ‘democrats; factious revilers’ in Scott's Tales of my Landlord (1819 ed.) Gloss. 510.
